Chapter 328 - Entering into the unknown(Part-1) (1/2)

Eden a place of opportunity and peril where the toughest, the strongest, the fittest and the luckiest survive but those who do have easily sailed through the chasm and have successfully ascended to Celestial realm not only incredibly fast but each of them have managed to reach even higher realms given that they survived long enough as such people were crazy about it specially since it was a large depository of various treasures waiting for someone to successfully bring them out, but alas with such opportunity came the enormous risk and peril, surrounding the Eden was an invisible protective sphere, a sphere so strong that it prevented anyone above Mystic Immortal Level to enter not only that the trials would start as soon as one approached the Eden.

Ryuu watched the people who rushed towards Eden as soon as they reached through a certain threshold they suddenly fell as if they lost their ability to flight and were rather pulled hard by gravity as they fell on the floor in rather hard but it did not top there as soon as they fell on the floor it looked as if they ejected rather violently as they were thrown towards the bottom of the stairs hard, so hard that by the time they reached the bottom stairs they were nothing but blood stains as a good few Mystic Immortal Emperors simply died.

Maheswara simply shook his head as he spoke with a sigh, ”Idiots must be loose cultivators, without the help of any form they are unluckiest a of the bunch, now Ryuu are you ready.”, Ryuu nodded at that as he continued speaking with a small smile on his face, ”Remember it is true that sometimes being at the front might help as the doors to the next trial might allow only up to a certain number.”, as Ryuu nodded at that Maheswara simply patted at his back as others gave him an encouraging smile, a smile that he would not be able to see for a good few years now.

Ryuu was teleported near the edge of the barrier as his sudden appearance caused a bit of chaos but Ryuu did not pay any head to that as he dashed inside the barrier by pushing a few cultivators out of the way but as soon as he passed the barrier he felt his cultivation to suddenly sealed up as he was reduced to just a mere mortal civilian, he had not felt so powerless as he felt now well may be when he was still a normal human, then when he looked up he simply wanted to curl and cry as he was greeted by 50,000 stairs each about 5 feet in height and 10 feet wide and a few kilometers long, 'I always wanted to climb mount Everest in my previous life and I can proudly say I managed to reach base camp 1 before I fell ill and had to return and unfortunately I never managed to return again but now I might get to climb many times that.'

Ryuu did not waste any time as he jumped on top of another cultivator and using him as a spring board he managed to move further apparently as he had started to climb the stairs as he tried not to look up too much, meanwhile his teachers looked at him with a pitying glance whereas his older sisters had gained a nostalgic smile on their face as they watched Ryuu climbing the stairs with renewed vigor.

It had been a few days of tireless climbing as the cultivators including Ryuu had finally reached the top as he reached near the door Ryuu fell on his back as he gasped for air, 'Even if I might be reduced to simple mortal civilian my stamina did not for that I am grateful', he looked down to see many still struggling as his eyes washed over them he knew that many of them would not make it and he had no time for them after all each to their own.

He looked up towards the direction of his teachers as he gave a small bow before he turned and stepped inside the inky black abyss that was on the other side of the door.

As Ryuu disappeared from their sight his teachers sighed at that as Nuwa spoke, ”You know that we still do not like the fact he is venturing into such place.”

Veena spoke with glazed look in her eyes, ”Me too sister me too, children grow up so fast.”

Celestia's face gained a small smile as she spoke, ”More like a bamboo, that was what our experience with Ryuu was I hope he will thrive through.”

Maheswara gazed vacantly in front of him before he spoke barely above whisper but everyone was able to hear him, ”Let us leave.”
